Introduction

VantagePoints is the thought-leadership platform of PASS. We feature biweekly interviews, case studies, and analyses from leading actors, practitioners, and social initiatives around the world.

VantagePoints Mission

VantagePoints provides an unbiased thought-leadership platform for sharing knowledge across a network of concerned social impact actors. VantagePoints offers content that coordinates theory with practice to influence the advancement of best practices.

The Vision

Our goal is to accelerate the advancement of ideas toward solving the biggest global challenges by building and engaging a diverse community of socially activated leaders.

Our Approach

VantagePoints is not simply a blog, newsletter, or a journal. Providing a thought-leadership platform allows truly big ideas to emerge—and accelerate into action. Our scope is not limited by specific sectors, regions, or diplomatic tracks.

People and actors first.

Feature Articles

VantagePoints articles are not simply about describing or promoting individuals and organizations. Our articles are about exposing the effective strategies and ideas that successful leaders, organizations, and movements adopt. Articles are typically 2,000 (or more) words in length, because we thoughtfully examine the most pressing issues facing the world today.

The signature question for VantagePoints is: “What most concerns you about the world today? What gives you hope?”

My vision for VantagePoints is to accelerate ideas into action. We recognize the written word as a powerful force for impacting change. This is why VantagePoints generates exclusive, long-form content. We provide a platform for thought leaders to communicate in-depth and in their own words.

Our approach encourages VantagePoints readers to influence across sectors, cultures, diplomatic tracks, and borders. In an age where attention is currency, VantagePoints provides substantial value. I hope to inspire greater levels of collaboration and improve our shared future.
